Swansea Council manages the castle, with the help of volunteers, and say they are looking forward to greeting Tinkerbell and the lost boys as Peter Pan takes centre stage on Wednesday, August 7, at 2pm.

The following day, at 7pm, the tale of Romeo and Juliet will be romantically staged for Shakespeare lovers. The events are being organised by the council.
